I use AdGuard and Vinegar Extract (Vinegar without the adblock part). IIRC those are free and work well for me, so try them first.

I have the QNAP TL-D800S. It’s an 8 bay DAS but there is also a 4 bay variant. Works well for me. It uses SFF cables to connect to the PC and comes with the appropriate PCIe card which seems more robust to me than anything USB for this.

It probably should be easier, but there needs to be a set process for doing it correctly.

Absolutely not, it’s a massive violation of people’s autonomy already.

Someone is in a mental health crisis, but not threatening themselves or others? Street Response pulls up instead of the cops.

but they can't have someone committed.

Which, in my mind, kind of defeats the purpose.

I think it’s completely unacceptable to involuntarily commit people that aren’t even threatening anyone. Let alone “threatening themselves” which is equally a concept that goes against autonomy and should not be a valid reason for commitment either. And I’m not even talking about how often abused this is in practice.

Not for the built-in Eq derive macro. But you can write your own derive macros that do allow you to take options, yeah.

Try deleting the prefix (steamapps/compatdata/1086940). This should work completely fine out of the box. (Not sure if uninstalling the game deletes that already, just in case)

I’m curious how they plan on implementing interior references while keeping structs that contain them movable and without breaking the “moving structs is always just memcpy” assumption.

All of these would be great to have though, would make the language a lot more ergonomic. I hope they get implemented.

Take something with KDE Plasma. I have mine set up to work as close to Mac as possible (command key as the main modifier, all the Mac shortcuts for the window manager and KDE applications, top menu bar, dock, probably more). Took a bit to set up but now it doesn’t nearly throw me off as much anymore when switching between the two.

Apt is the greatest package manager ever built.

Urgh, no, it's not. Everything about it is super crusty if you go beyond simply installing packages and adding others' PPAs IMO.

  1. Packages often enable the services they install right away. Someone told me they got locked out over SSH because they installed a firewall package that locked everything down by default, and the service got started on install. I guess that's technically more of an issue with the way things are packaged rather than the package manager itself, though.
  2. To temporarily install a package (so that it will get uninstalled with the next autoremove) you need to use aptitude to install the package, or run apt-mark auto after installing (which will also clear the manually installed flag if it was manually installed before), apt has no syntax for it.
  3. dpkg-scanpackages is eternally slow, I had to write a wrapper for it that runs it separately for every package and caches the result because I didn't want to wait multiple minutes for it to rebuild the PPA package index
  4. The standard packaging tools (dh-make or debuild, I think I've looked at both) are insane, so much so that I gave up and wrote something that takes files similar to Arch PKGBUILDs which calls dpkg-deb at the very end.

I could probably list more but I haven't had to touch apt in a while, thankfully. But it is probably the #1 reason I avoid anything Debian-based. #2 is probably their Frankenstein sysvinit/systemd setup.

I do have to say that apt remove vs purge is pretty cool though.

What do you like about it?

First thing I'd try is to use a "period-correct" nixpkgs commit for the libraries. It might even have the package already.
